Sepia Saturday 126 : 19 May 2012

Oh dear! I have a confession to make. I have forgotten where I got this archive image from! It could be anywhere : anyone with a box-full of old photographs will have a similar shot in their collection. Such a photograph is as much a part of a wedding as a cake, a top hat, or a bunch of flowers. So my challenge for Sepia Saturday 126 is an easy one - give us a group, give us a wedding, give us a top hat - or give us anything at all. Just post your posts, on or around Saturday the 19th May and link the posts using the list below. Try and stop by and visit as many of the others taking part as possible and .... help yourself to a glass of champagne.

While you sip your bubbly you might want to think ahead to the next two Sepia Saturday challenges. Here is a sneak preview of the archive images.

Well that will give you something to think about. But you can think about all that later, for the moment get to your places, stand still and smile for the camera.

This has to be the earliest I’ve ever posted, but as I’m on my travels for a few days it was good to be ahead of the game. Having the prompt early certainly helped. For the same reason I’ll probably be late next week! I will use the iPad to comment on other’s posts.

Hi went ahead and linked up my post though I will most likely add some names to it later. Mom said that she had to get out her magnifying glass and take a closer look, because she hadn't remembered seeing these particular pictures before and has never known Granny to drink beer, lol.

I'm a new comer and am enjoying the themes. I wish I had more sepia photos to add to the fun, but alas my farming family didn't take many. I've learned from my friends Nancy and Barbara how to really look at these scenes...I missed so much with the casual glance and am now enjoying sort of "inserting" myself into the photos.

As you'll probably see, I had a lot of fun with this theme Alan. I was worried that I'd run out of time, and post a day early because we have a wedding out of town tomorrow, and I'm bringing two little ones who will be in the wedding and my day is pretty well weddinged up! I know weddinged isn't a word...but you know what I mean! Enjoy your weekend too!

Sepia Saturday

Launched by Alan Burnett and Kat Mortensen in 2009, Sepia Saturday provides bloggers with an opportunity to share their history through the medium of photographs. Historical photographs of any age or kind (they don't have to be sepia) become the launchpad for explorations of family history, local history and social history in fact or fiction, poetry or prose, words or further images. If you want to play along, all we ask is that your sign up to the weekly Linky List, that you try to visit as many of the other participants as possible, and that you have fun.
